Are you a Conservative, Moderate, or a Liberal

[Logical]

Please do not turn this polling thread into a political pile on. In fact I would like it if you only explain why you categorized yourself as you do in the poll.

Mods: I am asking a little tolerance here in asking you to allow this to stay on the main page for the remainder of the week so as to maximize the respondents.

Thanks Vlad

Wow, alot of conservatives.........I probably shouldn't be surprised considering this is the midwest though.

Moderate.

Socially way left.
Fiscally slightly right.

For some of us, conservative doesn't mean "stodgy prude"....if that's what you are getting at. heh.

I swear, have the mods appointed you, Skip, and Vlad to be the "bouncers" or board "dads"? Sheeesh.

Ever since Phil has gone....

I have no idea what I should be labeled. I think the fact that there are only a select few labels to fall under is part of the whole problem. I'm very conservative on some subjects, very liberal on others, and somewhere in the middle on the rest. And there are some subjects where I don't even know if my leanings would be considered liberal or conservative.

I took the political compass, and came about as close to dead center as you can:

Economic Left/Right: -0.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.26

Never fear, I'm finally here. Better late than never I guess.

I describe myself as a moderate between Conservative and Libertarian ideals, but I don't think that's how you are using "moderate" here so I labeled myself "Conservative." I don't think I'm that far away (on a broad range of issues) from some of the people who have taken the labels of "moderate" and "centrist" though (e.g. Taco the centrist, Pitt Gorilla the centrist, Simplex3 the uncategorizable, Vlad the right leaning moderate who loves to dress as a liberal for effect, etc. ).

One thing's for sure though, I want us to surrender to Ben Laden and eat our own young and I've got "W" tatooed on my right butt cheek....

I think that is accurate based on the way the poll was intended.

My sentimates exactly.
